Exterior Looks too similiar but fog lamp is boxier and head lamp is longer.Rear has a very old feel.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are good looking but needs power windows,rear demister,rear wiper and powered mirrors and also climate control but gets a feature,rear AC Vents,first in class.Very spacious like old model and great and comfortable seats.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The 75 bhp is not much power but the 18.3 kgm is too much.Fuel economy is great and gear is crisp.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride is stiff in low speeds than Polo but at 100kph is more settled than Polo.Great handling and is best.
Final Words Before you consider Swift VDI or Figo ZXI Diesel than check New Fabia 1.2 TDI Classic(The base variant)also.The New Fabia 1.2 TDI Classic has driver airbag and rear AC vent and is better than dated and awkward looking Swift VDI and unresponsive Figo.Fabia has better boot space in 300 litres while Figo is better than Swift in 284 litres and Swift has a tiny and puny boot in 232 litres.The only downside is the feature list but excellent VFM car.I cancelled booking of Fabia New 1,6 Elegance and booked Classic New Fabia Diesel.
Areas of improvement Nothing.
Value for money,build quality,engine has lot of torqueHalf features are missing like rear wipers and defogger

Exterior Very Good, dashing.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good Space for passengers and driver , huge bootspace 30L , Rear seat is more comfortable then Polo and Punto.Good looking Black dashboard, world class palstic but No Power window!
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent, Fuel economy 18 L per km and toy like smooth gearshift.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride Q is very good like a sedan car , servie intervels are 15000kms so owenership is economical.
Final Words I almost filasied Fabia Classic TDI but when we observe the minimum front power windows are required for me , i have tlk with dealership for arrange the powerwindows system but they could not respond properly. the I have booked FIAT Punto Active. I know I compromise in Plastic q and Airbag but what can i do? In the new Fabia rear view is old faishned also. Why should i pay 6.25 Lakh for a nonpower window vehicle. For Quality lovers it is a amazing car to drive and own.
Areas of improvement Pls provide minimum two power windows.

Exterior Superb design.(I love it).
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Top notch quality interiors, no rival can come nearby only one can be compared in except POLO. (but still I thinks its better than polo).
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Pros- Gd fuel economy City- 15 Highways-19+with a/c, notchy gear box(Butter smooth),
cons- low pick up sudden slow down & bit loud engine noise(but no cabin noise.).
Ride Quality & Handling Makkhan, splendid smooth. Engulfs path-holes like anything.
Final Words Just buy new fabia diesel top end as new version has more power which was the only issue I felt to be taken care of. U will fall in love with the car.
Areas of improvement I think they should add on more goodies in top end version & also they should enter a higher powered diesel version yo outdo the competition. rest everything is near perfect as now they have reduced prices & improved power as well.
Best in terms of quality & everything in the car is of top notch quality.as my Fabia is a older version diesel with 70 bhp lacks in power in lower gears thats it.Exterior/Styles
